Do you think that this book is appropriate for teen audiences? We have several Sudanese teens that visit the library and it might be nice for them to feel represented.

(I'm dating myself!)<br /><br />So I know very little about Urban Fiction. There is no demand/interest for it at the branch I work at so I've focused my attention elsewhere. But I wonder if it would benefit me to become more familiar with it. Maybe I could even have some sort of "Intro to Urban Fiction" program or display at my little country branch. What made you pick up this title?<br /><br />Also - I appreciated your NF recommendations. That's a nice touch.Rob Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353039201757125633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688749538494774836.post-21436250703513247892017-04-14T14:36:24.692-07:002017-04-14T14:36:24.692-07:00Hi Jennifer!

Based on your summary and description, I do not normally read books similar to this, so it would be fun to read something different once in a while. I'm curious, though, it says in the title this is a "gangster love story," but I don't think you mentioned anything about gangsters?

This seems like an interesting book, and though it is not in one of my preferred genres, I think I might check it out once I have some more free time during the summer. Thanks for your review! The read-a-likes seem interesting as well. holmesa1482https://www.blogger.com/profile/01511356047384585303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688749538494774836.post-43004813706244137002017-04-11T17:03:30.391-07:002017-04-11T17:03:30.391-07:00Hi Jennifer,

And to think that I complain about having homework for two classes, working on a portfolio, working a full time job and helping my family. My life seems simple next to the character Midnight. LOL<br /><br />I really liked that you added a series statement. There are many times that I want to pick up a book, because it sounds really good, however it is part of a series and I have not read the first book. I am hesitant to read the book, because I do not want to start reading it and be confused, because there is some essential back story that I should have read in a previous book(s). For example, a couple of months ago I picked up the graphic novel Dogwitch, volume 3. The art is fantastic, however after the first chapter I was lost. I checked Amazon and found the first 2 volumes at a really low price and bought them used. I read the first book and enjoyed it and I am now reading the second volume. If I had continued reading volume 3 without starting over with the first volume my enjoyment of the book would have been very low.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your book review.<br /><br />Rob<br />Robert Bussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599588988901616741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688749538494774836.post-79022293108004943932017-04-10T19:11:37.507-07:002017-04-10T19:11:37.507-07:00I *think* he was just a minor character that Winte...I *think* he was just a minor character that Winter encounters. She isn't mentioned at all in this book, unless she goes by a different name, but I think it's strange that he would play a part in that one, but she isn't mentioned in this one.

I can't recall every detail and I definitely can't remember Midnight. However, I remember enjoying the book, and your review made me want to pick up the series again.dinosaurjumbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043062876626269384noreply@blogger.com
